Prices of Agricultural Commodities in Nigeria 2024

Let’s face it.

Food is among the few necessities we just can’t stop talking about.

Young or old, rich or poor, the urge to stay in consonance with food trends and prices is perhaps undeniable.

As consumers of agricultural products, we passionately anticipate fall in their prices just as the producers speculate better yields.

However, whether our anticipations become a reality is greatly dependent on a number of factors; notable among them is security, weather, and economic situations.

These factors are usually the key suspects whenever any price fluctuation episode plays out. Since these factors are most times uncontrollable, the prices of different agricultural commodities are similarly adjusted to account for them.

If you are in need of average prices of food items across Nigeria for this year, then read on as I enumerate the prevailing prices of major agricultural commodities in the country.

Nature of Changes in Prices

Unfortunately, like most commodities in Nigeria, the prices of dozens of agricultural commodities are generally on the rise. This is a little contrary to report released in the fourth quarter of last year by the National Bureau of statistics, which indicated negligible average improvement in the prices of agricultural commodities.

 

Market Trends

Unlike what was obtainable in the last quarter of 2017, the prices of most agricultural products are either stable or on the rise. However, the price of groundnut oil has experienced a slight decline in some states, alongside the price of a dozen other agricultural commodities.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, dozen states experienced sharp price changes between 2017 and 2018. Coupled with the present economic reality, the statistics paint a compelling view of the rate of fluctuations in agricultural commodity prices.

Nonetheless, agricultural livestock has significantly improved after selling at peak prices towards the end of last year and during the festive periods. Poultry products have specifically experienced most declines, though the price of eggs still hovers around the same price that was obtainable last year.

Cost of locally grown rice is currently settling but at high ground. In most states, a 50kg bag of rice still hovers around ₦17,000, a slight reduction from peak prices obtained last year.

Apart from the 3 key factors influencing the prices of agricultural commodities, cost of production, tension in the supply-demand relationship, season, and circulation cost remain major contributors.

 

Notable Points

  • Usually, for prices of imported commodities – cost, insurance, and freight are factored in.  A large number of imported agricultural commodities pass through local Nigerian manufacturers (as in the case with rice) before reaching wholesalers, though lots of wholesalers directly import their agricultural products
  • Prices of export agricultural commodities are sometimes determined either by the Government or the market at the beginning of each crop season
  • Actual retail prices may be significantly higher as against bulk prices for some agricultural products
